It appears that the Clippers will not be able to count on center Zeljko Rebraca anytime soon. Rebraca has not been able to participate in any basketball activities because of a pinched nerve in his lower back suffered two weeks before the opening of training camp.

Rebraca has undergone two epidurals, which have provided some relief. He currently is undergoing daily treatment.

"I don't feel (pain) in my legs anymore, but it's still in my back," he said. "I want to play but I can't do anything until the nerve calms down."
